Findspot record TQ 92 NE 23 - Post-Medieval finds at Brookland
Summary
The evaluation trench revealed a high density of finds, mostly dating to the C17, although no apparent concentration was noted. A number of complete clay pipe bowls (most C17) were found, suggesting that the field has not been ploughed since their deposition. A high percentage of pottery (C17) consisted of German Stoneware. The medieval sherds were mainly small and abraded. Possible explanations for the amount of finds could be the existence of a settlement nearby, or that the field was the site of a fair.
